Good news!! There was significant improvement in this week's test scores! That means either I'm getting soft, or the students are paying attention!! It really looks like we have found our groove in the classroom and I hope that you agree. Now, some of you may be saying, "I thought they were supposed to receive their science study guides on Fridays!" Although that will be the typical way we'll be doing it, they had their science tests on Friday and we had not started learning anything new yet. They will have a quiz (not a test) in science on Thursday (our regular day for science tests), but it will only cover a few pages in the textbook, so there is no reason to worry.
Both grades had division problems to work on over the weekend. These will be turned in on Monday. The math tests are on Tuesday. We had about 30 minutes Friday in each grade to go over the math practice problems and I was able to assist several students individually. There were one or two issues with some of the lessons from both grades, so until we get those figured out, I will not put too much of those lessons on the test.
We will be resuming our regular schedule for heritage studies on Monday. We will have that test on Friday, as usual.
For those parents who did not attend Open House, I want to let you know that the progress report grades do not include the homework grades. Also, the first two weeks of school were a little shaky, so there will be an opportunity at the end of the 9 weeks for the students to get extra point assignments to help boost their grades.
